The much-anticipated redevelopment of Chobham Fire Station has been postponed until Spring 2025 due to unforeseen environmental concerns raised during the planning process. This delay, announced by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS), comes after the Environment Agency highlighted issues that needed additional attention from Surrey County Council’s Land and Property Team.
Chief Fire Officer Dan Quin expressed disappointment over the unforeseen holdup but reassured the public about the team’s dedication to overcoming these challenges. Our commitment to enhancing the facilities for our firefighters and the Chobham community remains steadfast. We are actively addressing the feedback from the Environment Agency to advance this project as quickly as possible,” Quin stated.
Despite the delay, SFRS remains optimistic about the project’s completion and its future role in supporting both the firefighters and the Chobham community.
